Are the copper coated nuts the way to go, or is using regular bolts, double bolting the way. I read something yesterday that said the copper nuts should only be used once...why?? Should I coat the studs with anything?

When double-nutting, how the hell do you get a wrench on the top nut in order to tighten the 2nd nut against it?? I've never attempted this, but I remember barely having enough room to get a socket in place on one nut - I can't imagine trying to get a wrench in there to hold the first nut while adding a 2nd.
